Magellan’s website does employ "cookies" to provide visitors with information that is specific to them. A "cookie" is a collection of information sent by a website to a user’s computer, which is then sent back by the computer each time it accesses that website. These cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information, and they cannot be accessed or “read” by any website other than Magellan’s website, and most web browsers provide a simple procedure that enables you to control whether or not you want to receive cookies or notifies you when a website is about to deposit a cookie file.

If you choose, you may block or delete our cookies from your browser; however, blocking or deleting cookies may cause some of Magellan’s website features and functionality to work incorrectly.

Analytics

We may use third party analytics solutions to gather information and aggregate data from our website visitors such as which pages are visited and how often they are visited, and to enable certain features on our websites. Information is captured using various technologies and may include third party cookies.

Log Files

Log files are pieces of information that let us know how people are accessing Magellan websites. Each time you go to a page in our websites, our server shows this page on your computer. When the page displays, we create a log file that tells us that someone visited the page. We do not collect any personally identifiable information about you in the log files. Magellan uses log files to create aggregate reports of site activity. This means we take the information about our visitors and add it together to report on all pages of the site visited. We do share the reports of aggregate usage of our sites with our customers. In order to service you, if you sign-in to a Magellan secure website, Magellan may collect, track, and securely transmit certain website data and activity to Magellan’s back office systems, in order to allow you to securely access your personally-identifiable information.

Email

Please note that individualized information transmitted via email correspondence between you and Magellan — as opposed to transmission over Magellan’s website — is not encrypted. As a result, like most, if not all, non-encrypted internet email communications, such email correspondence may be accessed and viewed by other internet users without your knowledge and permission while in transit. For that reason, to protect your privacy, if you have concerns about treatment, or questions that would involve the communication of confidential/personal health information, please call your physician or other healthcare professional, or plan representative provided in your plan “Welcome Package” (or supervisor where applicable). All users of secure sign-in websites are required to use a user ID and password to further protect privacy. It is very important not to share with or give your user ID or password to anyone, and also give thought to any person(s) who may have access to your account.

You agree that any comments, suggestions, or other information sent to Magellan by way of this site is provided without restriction or obligation on Magellan and Magellan will be free to use such information on an unrestricted basis. You also agree:

That information submitted is at your own risk,

Magellan has no liability with respect to any unauthorized access by third parties,

You are responsible for whatever material you submit, and

You, not Magellan, have full responsibility for any submitted message, including its legality, reliability, accuracy, completeness, appropriateness, originality, and copyright.

Electronic or hard copies of the information captured through this website system may be archived or retained in Magellan files or systems. Information from emails may be transcribed into other Magellan systems such as a calls database.

Where sign-in is required to access a website, email addresses are collected as part of the registration process for the website. Email addresses are used to notify users of online activity related to the security and privacy of their accounts, such as requests to change a password or requests to change an address. These email communications are necessary to protect the privacy and security of your account.Magellan doesnot sell, rent, lease or give away user email addresses. Magellan does not shareyouremail information with third parties other than for providing service to you.

Security

A range of security features protect the privacy of any individualized information you provide over a secure sign-in to the Magellan website. During transmission over a secure sign-in website, your privacy is protected by 128-bit or greater cryptographic security. Other security safeguards are also in place.

Magellan uses physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect any personally identifiable data stored on its computers. Only authorized employees and third parties have access to the information you provide to Magellan for providing service to you.

Linked Sites

Magellan’s website has links to various other websites that we think might be useful or of interest to you. Magellan, however, cannot be responsible for, and does not endorse the privacy practices or the content of, its linked websites. Magellan urges you to review the privacy policies of any websites you visit once you leave Magellan’s website. Links to various non-Magellan websites do not constitute or imply endorsement by Magellan of these websites, any products or services described on these sites, or of any other material contained within them.

HIPAA

HIPAA is the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”).

HIPAA outlines strict guidelines to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of your Personal Health Information (PHI) such as your name or medical information. These guidelines require that your PHI be used for purposes of treatment, payment and health plan operations, and not for purposes unrelated to health care.

As additional features and functions are added, this Privacy Policy will be updated to correctly represent how information and features are being used.
